Ohio Gov. John Kasich told reporters today there's "zero chance" he will drop out of the presidential race before Wisconsin's primary election April 5.

"We've always been the little engine that can," said Kasich, standing next to former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, who gave Kasich a resounding endorsement. "We're going to keep moving."

Another former GOP Wisconsin governor, Scott McCallum, was also on hand to support Kasich. But when asked if he would seek Gov. Scott Walker's endorsement, Kasich said, "I have a message in to him, but I have no clue what he's going to do. I would love to have his support, but I can't tell you what his thinking is. Look, this is a guy who was in the arena; it's tough when you're in the arena and you leave the arena to try to figure out what you're going to do."

Kasich spoke to reporters this morning following a town hall event with about 500 people at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Wauwatosa.
